There are three doors.

Two of them opens up a room with highly toxic fumes that will kill you in 7 seconds.

The other leads to a room with 1 million dollars.

You pick a door 1, 2, or 3.

The prize guy opens a door letting out toxic fumes. He then dies.

You now have a choice to change your door. Will you change your door.

yes...

because before you had 1/3 chance of being right, now you have 1/2 chance of being right.

then, I'd let you open the door, while I stand behind you wearing a gas mask and holding a baseball bat.

yes but thats not how i explained it in my head

i was thinking how u had 2/3 chance of picking the wrong one

so u would switch because u more likely had the wrong one lets say door one was right and d2 and d3 were wrong

you will more likely choose 2 or 3 then u switch
if you chose 1 then your dead sucks for you unless u didnt switch

i guess u said the same thing

whered u get the baseball bat from

You have a 2/3 chance if you switch.

This riddle is not original. It is a repackaging of the Monte Hall riddle.

What i would do,since the toxic fumes kill you in 7 seconds, I would open a door for 4 seconds to glance at what is inside. If there is money behind it, i would be safe and just go in. If nothing, then i would shut the door quickly and go to the next door.
